Arrogance of having a college degree

Was gonna troll him with the same response :lol:

No money won't buy happiness but it will allow me to do things that make me happy - travel, major sporting events, great food etc.

Obviously if you're killing yourself at a job you hate for that money then that changes things

But triple my salary right now and I'll definitely be happier

My girl has a degree and I have one and I would never talk to a chick without one because we simply won't have much in common outside of talking about current events maybe.

Maybe he didn't express himself well, but I agree. Talking to people without college degrees is a whole lot more difficult. I feel like we have nothing in common and like I'm wasting my time.

Please go ahead and explain why. Just because they dont have a degree doesnt mean that they cant hold a conversation. What could you possibly want to discuss that they wouldnt have an idea about? They have plenty in common with you, aside from that degree which doesnt mean much in the grand scheme of things.

I dont conversate w/ people unless theyve accumulated 20 million liquid before their 21st birthday. We simply just wouldnt understand each other.
 
The stress of not having money and living pay check to pay check is probably more tolling on the human mind then getting paid well, but working at a place you don't like.
 
It isn't for everyone.

I went to a four year college, and end up leaving with 30 credits left.

Currently work in IP law, learning a trade that isn't taught in school.

Wish I didn't take those loans out with sallie mae now.

My sentiments exactly.
 
We all human, a piece of paper doesn't make you automatically better than anybody else..no matter what your degree is...But even though alot more people have degrees now its still a nice accomplishment and something to be proud of..think about for all the people that graduated, the others that dropped out or couldn't even make it to college....
 
It's just a piece of paper .. doesn't mean much .. everybody has them ..

In reality only 33% have a Bachelors by 25

doesn't mean anything though ! :lol:
 
Lol I get what you mean OP I remember one NTer saying "if you don't have your degree within 5 years then college isn't for you" like *****. Society dictates that a college educated person is better but that necessarily isn't the case.
 
Aside from the 0.01% of the population who are mega-wealthy or influential without having gone to college, a college degree is an easy, tangible proxy for other things (e.g., being educated, being informed, wealthy, parent's wealthy, common experience, motivated, etc., etc.).

I don't have time to screen everyone I meet to see if they are a diamond in the rough and have all these traits that I'd relate to, and that applies to males and females. Usually when I meet someone new, it usually comes up in conversation where we're from, went to school, where one currently works, and if some dude tells me that he didn't go to college, he'd better have rolled up in a Phantom to the party.

Yeah, I can chill with dudes/females without college degrees without it being an issue (I'm not going to turn my nose up at you or scoff at whatever you're saying), but I'm also sure as hell not picking up any of your calls on weekdays.

Notice how he said he can hang around people who dont have one without it being an issue.

What he said is nothing like what LL said.

Why does he have to have a phantom if he didnt go to college?

I nvr went to college and I'm doing alot better than majority of people my age
 
Because the car you drive is a great indicator of ones intelligence and financial situation.

Duh.

My point was that if I met a person on a random occasion, and I knew that person didn't go to college, the only way you're catching my interest is if I was made aware of some sign of massive wealth or success (e.g., a Phantom). Otherwise, I'd have to play the odds and make the assumption that you're some uneducated dude and keep it moving (with full understanding that I may be missing out on potential friendships/relationships).

I don't really have time to dig around and figure out your back story of why/what circumstances led you to not go to college, and why you're currently doing it big or not doing it big. It's obviously an imperfect measure, but there are plenty of other fish/people with college degrees to build my network around.

That's pretty shallow.

I have a few friends who don't have degrees, or Phantom's but are doing pretty well in business and in corporate. SInce you're talking about your network, remember you never know who someone might know or be related to etc.
